When I close my eyes to draw I always think Chicago in 1975.

I was a very fearful little kid, and I would always see the worst in everything. The glass was half-empty. I would see people kissing, and I would think one was trying to bite the other.

I think I'm gonna attach myself to the sinking ship that is book publishing.

It's embarrassing to be involved in the same business as the mainstream comic thing. It's still very embarrassing to tell other adults that I draw comic books - their instant, preconceived notions of what that means.

I think that's what we're all most terrified about: that we'll just die and disappear and we'll leave no trace.

I think I've had the fantasy of a ray-gun that could erase the world from the time I was a very little kid.
